The Video:

Last year, Kyle Rapps released his On Air mixtape, sampling from the legendary French electro duo Air. Now, following the video for "Universe Traveler" with Talib Kweli, and a recently released video for "Bully" from his previous Re-Edutainment EP, Rapps is excited to release the latest video from On Air, for the single "Streets Move On."

The video, directed by Mr. Complex, captures Kyle backstage at the now shuttered Southpaw in Brooklyn, mixing the footage with stark and poignantly shot images of Brooklyn and Harlem streets as Kyle makes his way around the city. For Kyle, the purpose of the song and the video was to show a side of Brooklyn that is too often forgotten. "I wanted to show how hungry shit is despite all the gentrification," explains Rapps, "And also that there's love in these streets despite the struggling."

The Background:


By age 20, Princeton, New Jersey native Kyle Rapps started winning poetry slams in NYC with a concept-strong, socially sharp raw hip-hop delivery. Once he graduated from Rutgers University, he had already opened for big name acts like Wyclef Jean, Fat Joe, Talib Kweli and Dead Prez with his group, Thought Breakers. And once he decided to change his name to Kyle Rapps, he was getting ready to release the single "Love, Love" with KRS-One and Homeboy Sandman, which eventually went on to reach #1 on the college radio charts for hip-hop. Fresh off his critically acclaimed EP, RE-Edutainment, which featured Joell Ortiz and KRS-One, and production from Kev Brown, Kyle put together a new concept project called On Air, which samples from one of his favorite artists, the French-electro DJ duo, Air. The album features Talib Kweli and C-Rayz Walz, along with previous artists like KRS-One and Homeboy Sandman, and was released last summer. This summer Kyle will be releasing his debut full length album, The Sky's On Fire, which has features from Murs, Action Bronson, and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire.
